Israeli Elections

Far be it from me to suggest how people vote in today's Israeli election but it seems pretty fair to say that if you don't mind your Politician's committing a genocide then by all means signal that you fully endorse it by putting your little X next to Benjamin Netanyahu's name, if not then look elsewhere.
Israel has long been a Pariah State but over the last few years it has become as much outside of opinion as it is possible to be with Netanyahu and some of his cabinet having arrest warrant against their names for crimes against humanity.
Netanyahu is also aware that the legal proceedings involving allegations of corruption are on pause and he faces all sorts of legal wrangles once he is no longer protected by his Prime Minister status, something he very much has in common with his ally Donald Trump who has been trying to drum up support for his buddy but knows that his own legal woes will follow once he is out of power.  
The choices voters in Israel make today may shape where the world goes next with Israel but if the coming weeks see Benjamin Netanyahu remain at the helm, it won't look good for it because as abhorrent as Israel's actions have been, if the Israeli voters endorse it then it is hard to see how anyone can make the argument to bring it back into the fold.
